Who is leading the change
Victoria Police
Victoria Police develop a model to strengthen the investigation of family violence offences and focus additional specialist investigative and intelligence resources on serious family violence offending. Victoria Police should develop performance measures for the revised approach, against which it reports annually and publicly. To improve the investigation of family violence, Victoria Police should:
- embed investigators in family violence teams where appropriate
- ensure that investigation and response teams take on or actively oversee investigations
- give tactical and divisional intelligence support to family violence teams
- give family violence team members access to the field investigator’s course
- equip first responders with technology that will facilitate timely on-site evidence capture
- ensure that family violence advisors are involved with divisional tasking and coordination committees and that advisors are of an appropriate rank to participate effectively
